lump glad to have another football fan around! The respect campaign. well I guess what they wanted to try to happen is for the players to respect the fact that they are human, but it seems they make too many mistakes.

do you have a team in particular?

Re: The Official Soccer/Football/Futbol/Calcio thr
 

AC Milan. I don't have to hunt glory, it finds me :D

Re: The Official Soccer/Football/Futbol/Calcio thr

Speaking of Liverpool over AC Milan look we have a Steven Gerrard Smily-->:wnr

Heard it here first folks- Boone is a ManU fan!!

Re: The Official Soccer/Football/Futbol/Calcio thr
 

If Manchester United were to play AC milan. I would absolutely want Man U to win. As long as the Italians lose... I think you're confusing my feelings of Hatred towards the Italians as liking of Man U... dis-pick-a-ble.

Re: The Official Soccer/Football/Futbol/Calcio thr
 

When Chelsea play Lpool I hope a hole opens up on the pitch and swallows both teams. But if I doesn't and I don't get my Draw I guess I would hope the Lpool wins. That in no way makes me a Lpool fan.

:tpd:
Not only do you see Christiano Ronaldo-like diving in Serie A but you also get the fish-out-of-water flopping around. You'd swear the players have gills.

Re: The Official Soccer/Football/Futbol/Calcio thr
 

I'm really a fan of the sniper analogy...

Re: The Official Soccer/Football/Futbol/Calcio thr
 

I've heard that one, too. But when I sniper hits, the victim is dead and usually motionless. Have you ever seen a sniper shoot a victim and said victim flop around for minutes? :D

Re: The Official Soccer/Football/Futbol/Calcio thr
 

rarely.
but it's the flop around.. flop some more... scream... get carried off... come back on with a slight "limp" then run like it's the start of the match that I despise....
when Gattusso had the ball taken off of his foot by brian McBride in WC 2006 and dropped to the ground and grabbed the WRONG FOOT, I decided I hated him. The dive against the Soccerroos in the same WC made me hate them even more.

William Gallas lost his armband and was dropped from the team for Saturday...

William Gallas has been stripped of the Arsenal captaincy and will not play against Manchester City, according to Sky Sports News sources.

The move comes after Gallas spoke of unrest in the Arsenal camp on Thursday, including details of a bust-up during half-time in the recent 4-4 draw with Tottenham.

A number of former players have been quick to criticise Gallas for the outburst and it now appears as though Arsene Wenger has acted quickly to discipline the Frenchman.

It is understood that Gallas, who was handed the armband at the start of last season, will not travel with the rest of the squad ahead of Saturday's game at Man City.

The latest development raises doubts about Gallas' future with the club, just two years after he joined the Gunners from Chelsea.

Arsenal have yet to confirm the news but reports suggest that goalkeeper Manuel Almunia will lead out the side against City.

Re: The Official Soccer/Football/Futbol/Calcio thr
 

Haha, We might not have won a Premier League in 18 years, but at least we don't buy them! And you only won that last ECC cos you bought off the judges too, reducing your points deduction so you could still qualify. :r (This is mainly a joke, and I'm not about to get involved in another serie a fixing scandal/Berlusconi argument, but you may well have bought glory through bribes, sunshine!)
Oh well. More power to ya.
At least you guys returned to Serie A in honourable style, no matter how you left it.

Re: The Official Soccer/Football/Futbol/Calcio thr
 

pnoon, pnoon!?! please can we keep him?

Re: The Official Soccer/Football/Futbol/Calcio thr
 

ah youth... Peter, what's you're excuse? :D

I knew Gallas screwed the pooch when I heard of his comments, Wenger has probably been looking for a reason to drum him out

Re: The Official Soccer/Football/Futbol/Calcio thr
 

Gallas has been dropped from my squad.

Re: The Official Soccer/Football/Futbol/Calcio thr
 

Liverpool and Fulham. Fulham have never won at Anfield and have 1 point away so far this year. Torres is in Gerrard is out. It's cold here in Alabama not enjoying being out of my bed... Liverpool, YNWA. OH and I have a new buddy. Lab mix name is Jamie Carragher. ;-) She even has his high pitched voice.. haven't seen her tackle yet, but I have hope. looking forward to the Keane Torres Partnership today!

Re: The Official Soccer/Football/Futbol/Calcio thr
 

big games disappointed all day, none of the "big four" scored a goal in England and Inter got over on Juve. Meh.

Re: The Official Soccer/Football/Futbol/Calcio thr
 

rough day for the big 4.

Re: The Official Soccer/Football/Futbol/Calcio thr
 

Well, at least we didn't lose.

On the bright side of life, most tabloids he reckon Man City will make a bid for Chelsea's Wayne Bridge, and the Ramon Abromovich will block the sale as revenge for City's poaching of Robinho. Except for one, who reckon City are preparing a £60m ($90m) bid for John Terry. Tabloid newspapers - at least one remembered that they're just a joke!

Re: The Official Soccer/Football/Futbol/Calcio thr
 

For 60M pounds I hope you get the John Terry model that can make Penalty Kicks :ss

I recently found out that GolTV now broadcasts via Time Warner- got to watch some La Liga this weekend- Getafe put up a great fight with Barca.

Re: The Official Soccer/Football/Futbol/Calcio thr
 

none of my starting 11 scored this weekend.. :-( my total was 518... table isn't ready yet, but my lead is probably pretty slim.

Re: The Official Soccer/Football/Futbol/Calcio thr
 

I just signed the GolTV back to Dish Network petition online, thanks for the reminder

I miss the weekly LaLiga and Serie A dedicated highlight shows and matches. They have a ton of really good Argentine games as well

Wahoo, Columbus Crew :D:tu

Re: The Official Soccer/Football/Futbol/Calcio thr
 

Hell yea!

I feel terrible about MLS, in 94 I was ready and the 2 year wait for it was excruciating. Now I hardly ever watch it.

I will redouble my efforts next season. I promise :D

Re: The Official Soccer/Football/Futbol/Calcio thr
 

I may or may not have forgotten about this game.

Re: The Official Soccer/Football/Futbol/Calcio thr
 

Brutal!:r

Re: The Official Soccer/Football/Futbol/Calcio thr
 

So earlier in the week I switched Crouch for Defoe on my team with Defoe most likely to have surgery on his calf. For some reason though I put him on the bench and in a weekend of relatively little scoring, he finds the back of the net. Why do I do these things to myself.

Re: The Official Soccer/Football/Futbol/Calcio thr
 

I think it was a bad week for everybody.

Re: The Official Soccer/Football/Futbol/Calcio thr
 

Wigan is beating Everton, Podolski wants to leave Bayern... (sigh... I wish Liverpool would sign him, play 3 strikers...) there was an MLS game? Speaking of United States soccer, did anyone watch the beating of Guatemala? My GOD the commentators DROVE ME INSANE!

I don't think Jozy is on the CL roster.. I would love to see him though.

Villareal squad for today:

Goalkeepers: Diego López and Viera.
Defenders: Javi Venta, Ángel, Gonzalo, Fuentes, Cygan and Capdevila.
Midfield: Marcos Senna, Edmilson, Bruno, Cazorla, Eguren, Ibagaza, Pires and Mati Fernández.
Forwards: Guille Franco and Rossi.

Re: The Official Soccer/Football/Futbol/Calcio thr
 

I'd rather have Sergio 'Kun' Aguero. Hell, give Micheal Owen an adamantium skeleton and I'll take him!

Re: The Official Soccer/Football/Futbol/Calcio thr
 

haha adamantium... riot.. Aguero is certainly a very good striker... I just remember the possibility of Poldolski from the summer transfer...
Jozy has a lot of work to do to make the starting squad for Villareal.

Re: The Official Soccer/Football/Futbol/Calcio thr
 

Don't get me wrong, I think Podolski is a great player, just whether he'd slot into the squad where we'd need him, we've got Voronin, and he and Podolski (IMO) are similar - whether he's better or not is a different question. Maybe we should give N'gog and Nemeth a chance, N'gog looks promising, and seems to get in the positions our other strikers can't.

Despite Mr Owen's seemingly cardboard skeleton, he's still the most prolific English footballer at this time - on average, scoring 1 goal every 2 games over his entire career. Including Spain. 398 total league and cup club appearances, 200 goals.

anybody gonna be rockin the pink boots?

Only Ribery could make these look less than girly, good choice

Re: The Official Soccer/Football/Futbol/Calcio thr
 

Ribery is awesome... too bad he's French. I can't really see him with the pink though, weird.
